After 2 singles on different labels and a surprise number one hit as part of M/A/R/R/S’s “Pump Up the Volume”, they made two ground-breaking albums that placed them precariously in the indie scene - however they preferred the term “dream pop”. These albums were 69 in 1988 and i in 1989.
Hard to place in terms of genre, 69 was more consciously indie, though that’s not saying much, seen by some as part of a continuum that included jimi hendrix’ more spaced-out offerings, miles davis and others - musically it asked questions and opened doors that have still to be explored. ‘i’ was a dramatic change, clearly slicker and smoother, and covering a wide variety of styles over twenty-six tracks (ten of which were short noise interludes). “i” also spawned A.R. Kane’s best-known song in “A Love From Outer Space”. Both albums achieved wide critical acclaim.
Follow up album New Clear Child (1994), was not received as well, the reasons being a believed lack of coherent direction and a feeling that the ideas were merely (admittedly excellent) re hashes of works that were completed more succinctly in the earlier 2 albums.
Rudy Tambala made ambient and dub influenced music under the name Sufi. Neither is currently involved in the music industry to any great extent. Post-A.R. Kane, Alex Ayuli was (possibly still is) a museum curator in the U.
